Cuisine: Paleo
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup dates, pitted
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring the sides are covered for easy removal.
- Place the pitted dates in a small bowl and cover with hot water. Let them soak for 10 minutes to soften, then drain and roughly chop.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well incorporated and free of lumps.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with honey and coconut milk until smooth and well combined.
- Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until a consistent batter forms. Carefully stir in the chopped dates.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- For the toffee sauce, combine coconut sugar with 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Drizzle the warm toffee sauce over the top of the batter, creating a marbled effect.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before lifting out using the parchment paper.
- Slice into 8 equal portions and serve warm. Optional: Drizzle additional toffee sauce on top before serving.
Tips
- Ensure your dates are soft and plump by soaking them in hot water, which helps create a more tender pudding texture.
- Use room temperature eggs and coconut milk for smoother batter integration and more consistent baking.
- Don't overmix the batter—gently fold ingredients to maintain a light, fluffy texture.
- For extra richness, consider topping with a dollop of coconut cream or sprinkling some chopped nuts before serving.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and gently reheat before enjoying to maintain optimal moisture and flavor.
- If you prefer a less sweet version, you can reduce the honey or coconut sugar slightly without compromising the recipe's structure.
